What happen when spoon of sugar
and sawdust and soil are added to the water
Answers
Adding a spoonful of sugar to a class of water could be more effective at making exercise easier than sports drinks, research has suggested.
Researchers at the University of Bath found stirring table sugar in to a bottle of water could mean the difference between success and failure for marathon runners, cyclists and long distance athletes.
In a study published in the American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism, they assessed the impact of endurance exercise on liver glycogen levels.
The team tested several drinks to see how different sugars could slow the decline of liver glycogen levels, which leads to tiredness.
Their experiment, which used long-distance cyclists as participants, found both glucose and sucrose can help maintain liver glycogen levels.
Both sucrose - in the form of table sugar - and glucose are important carbohydrates, often referred to as simple sugars.
